Tell Whole Foods No More Duck Meat!

 

THE FACTS :

 

Whole Foods has created an image that they care about the environment

and the humane treatment of animals killed for food. However, they are

knowingly selling factory farmed duck meat.

 

Each year, 24 million ducks are housed hundreds to a shed in filthy

conditions, without access to the outdoors. These aquatic birds are

only given water to drink, some in the form of nipple drinkers. They

also have a portion of their bills amputated to prevent feather pulling

- a behavior caused by the unnatural environment. In the US,

thousands of ducks are boiled alive in the slaughterhouse!

 

 

THE WEEK OF ACTION :

 

To educate the community about the horrors behind duck factory farming

and to further encourage Whole Foods to stop selling duck meat,

leafleting will be held at several Whole Foods in the greater Chicago

area during a national week of action. During this week, compassionate

individuals from across the country will be gathering in their cities

and towns to encourage consumers to use their voice in to encourage

positive change. The details are included in this email. Please join us

and make your voice heard!

 

THE ALTERNATIVE :

 

If you can't attend any of the days of leafleting, please contact Whole

Foods by phone, fax or email (information above) and encourage others

to do the same.
